NASA's Photovoltaic Energy Research Plans and Programs

National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA Design Concept and Requirements Dimensions: 30 x 30 x 4cm (without mounting brackets) Designed to be mounted in multiple configurations (through bracketry) based on landing site and lander design Capped mass at 4.5 kg Requires approximately 2W for solar cell and charging experiment. Designed to use additional power for heaters during cruise phase Team designed PILS platform to accommodate interfaces with the Peregrine lander in terms of power, communication, mounting, environmental concerns Early rendering of Peregrine www.nasa.gov PILS Mock Up Based on Initial Concept Rendering of PILS mounted on an early Peregrine design
